SAN FRANCISCO — Manager Mike Redmond developed a well-deserved reputation as a lefty killer during his playing days. The just-acquired Randy Wolf was among the left-handers Redmond wore out.

"I faced him a lot," Redmond said. "Did you see the numbers?"

Wolf and Glavine are the only two pitchers against whom Redmond hit multiple homers during his 13-year major league career. Against Wolf, Redmond went 7-for-22 (.318) with two doubles, two homers and a 1.030 on-base plus slugging percentage. He tagged Glavine to tune of a .438 average (21-for-48) with two doubles, two homers and an 1.075 OPS.

Redmond remembers facing Wolf in the Double-A Eastern League, when they played for the Portland Seadogs and Reading Phillies, respectively.

Here are the lefties Redmond punished the worst (min. 15 plate appearances) during his career:

Pitcher H-AB Av. XBH HR RBI OPS

Kirk Reuter 7-15 .467 3 1 6 1.337

C.C. Sabathia 13-26 .500 2 0 6 1.139

Odalis Perez 8-17 .471 2 0 3 1.139

Tom Glavine 21-48 .438 4 2 7 1.075

Al Leiter 13-29 .448 3 0 2 1.052

Randy Wolf 7-22 .318 4 2 5 1.030

“He crushed lefties,” Wolf said. “He called me when I signed over here and he said he was happy to have me and all that stuff. I said, ‘It’s funny that I’ve played for two guys in a row that absolutely owned me.'”

Phil Nevin, who managed Wolf at Triple-A Reno in the Diamondbacks’ organization earlier this season, went 10-for-17 (.588) with two doubles, three homers, nine RBI and a 1.867 OPS off him.
